This car will be a beast. The biggest beast GM has put out from the factory.

Like the 03 Mustang Cobra SVT and the SRT-4, people will quickly realize that you can take this car, slap a few hundred dollars into and have more power than you could ever use.

That 638 comes with a fat factory tune and only 10.5 psi.

Unforunately, UNLIKE the 03 cobra, the SRT-4 and cars like the Buick Grand National, this car will be out of reach for most people. (it'll also be pretty difficult to get).

It also signals the "end" of the high displacement muscle cars. Like Ford, and Dodge and all the others that are falling in line...the solution now is a lower displacement motor with either a turbo or blower on it.

I have never been a vette guy (although I've always loved them) but I may try to pick up an 07 Z06, as it will be the last of the 7.0+ liter muscle car engines. In 15 years, it will appreciate as there will be tons of people looking to own one of the last large displacement engines offered. (I'd venture that in 25 years, you won't be able to buy a 7.0, non hybrid powered car....at least not without paying a HUGE gas guzzler tax or knowing someone).
